If you want to know more about the My .eu account, please read our manual.

*Please note that the My .eu account is available to both .eu and .ею (Cyrillic script) domain name holders.

Transfer your domain name

.eu or .ею domain names can be transferred to a new registrar and/or to a new holder. Transfers require a transfer authorisation code that you can receive from the My .eu account.

About the authorisation code

The authorisation code includes a total of 16 letters and digits separated by dashes, in the following format XXXX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC. You need the complete code in order to start the transfer process. An authorisation code is valid for 40 days from the date of issue or until it is used, whichever comes first.

To change the holder of the domain name (if the registrar remains the same)

Please contact your registrar to find out how to change the holder of your domain name. To verify your registrar, look up your domain name in the web-based WHOIS. Your registrar's name will be listed in the "Registrar" section of the query result.

To transfer your domain name to a new registrar

Request an authorisation code from your current registrar or get it directly from the My .eu account. To verify your registrar, look up your domain name in the web-based WHOIS. Your registrar's name will be listed in the "Registrar" section of the query result.

Send the authorisation code you receive to your new registrar who will process the transfer of your domain name.

Please note that, if your registrar’s accreditation agreement has been terminated by EURid, EURid will notify you, via email, of the scheduled deletion date of your domain name(s) and provide you with instructions on how to transfer your domain name(s) to a new registrar of your choice.

In this case, please transfer your domain name(s) before its/their scheduled deletion date if you would like for it/them to remain active.

Should you not receive an email from EURid, please check your spam or junk mail folder or contact us at [email protected].

Emergency authorisation code

If you cannot obtain an authorisation code from your current registrar or via the My .eu account, you can request an emergency authorisation code:

- Fill out the electronic request form according to instructions and supply the reasons why you were not able to receive the authorisation code from your registrar or My .eu account.

- Print the form, sign it and send it to us via email at [email protected] or fax on +32 (0) 2 401 27 52. If the requester is an organisation please print the form on company letterhead paper or add a company stamp.

We will process your request and inform you on the outcome accordingly.

To transfer your domain name to a new registrar and to a new holder

Request an authorisation code from your current registrar or get it directly from the My .eu account. To verify your registrar, look up your domain name in the web-based WHOIS. Your registrar's name will be listed in the "Registrar" section of the query result.

Once you receive the code, send it to the future holder of the domain name, who in turn must send it to their registrar who will process the transfer of the domain name.

Secure your domain name

To make your .eu or .ею website safer for visitors, you can enable DNSSEC via your registrar. Why not secure it with our Registry Lock Service too!

What is DNSSEC?

DNSSEC, or Domain Name System Security Extensions, is an Internet security protocol that helps reduce the chance that visitors to your .eu website are led to fake websites if they type your .eu or .ею website address, protected with DNSSEC technology, into their browser.

How it works

When you look up a domain name, or URL, this process involves a set of questions and answers whenever your browser issues a request to find the website it is looking for. But can your browser trust the answer it receives? How does it know the answer hasn't been modified by a third party?

With DNSSEC, browsers and name servers can check whether the answers they receive are authentic. This means that there is a smaller chance that Internet users can be redirected to ill-intentioned websites.

DNSSEC works by checking answers at each level of the Internet infrastructure, called the Domain Name System, or DNS. Each level of the infrastructure vouches for the level above through what is known as a "chain of trust".

Please note that not all registrars currently offer this service.

What is "Registry Lock"

The Registry Lock Service provides added protection to those .eu or .ею domain names that benefit from this status. This service can be used to provide a greater level of safety for domain names. It is intended to mitigate against the potential for unintended changes, deletions or transfers. With the Registry Lock Service, you can take advantage of the greatest level of security for your most valuable and highly visible domain names.

To take advantage of Registry Lock, please contact your registrar, who will be able to confirm whether they offer this type of service. You can search the list of accredited registrars by language, country, or service.
